Being a simple and easy going person who loves traveling and photography. Getting involved with passion in hotel and tourism business since 1992. Seeking to have peaceful mindset through meditation. Trying not to judge people and staying away from people who judge the others through material things.

My traveling style varies from staying in a tent to having a butler at hotel, food stalls on the roadside until the famous gastronomy. Cat is a friend although I have none at home because of travels. I am not much for shopping but nature and culture addicted, very sensitive with elder people, children, reduced mobility person. I dislike dishonesty and unfair treat because of social classes and trust in learning and in education.

Life motto varies from freedom, peace of mind seeker, family-oriented icon, love makes a worth living, simplicity, to living the presence.

Duanratchada's home was the 3rd booking I had made on this trip. Duanratchada was amazing responding to all my questions in a quick manner. She pointed out to me that the neighbourhood was not a tourist community. That she was not going to be present on my stay. However, she assured me that their was a family member who would be able to provide some level of service because they spoke English seeing that no other family spoke English.
My check in date had to be delayed because I became sick at my other destination. Duanratchada was contacted by a friend and I also sent her an e-mail informing her of my delay. My phone also stopped working that info was also provided.
The day of I sent another e-mail detailing my journey. It took me 7 hours to arrive at her home. On one answered. The cab driver call 2 different numbers that was provided. One was answered. A person came out. Another. I was taken to my room. Asked about the air-conditioning etc. No on was able to respond. I was tired hungry and still recovering from not feeling well I just turned around and left and spent 2 night in a hotel until I was able to return to the best host I ever had on Airbnb Bee studio.
Under the circumstances seeing that my host was not going to be at home. She should have left a note explaining the Internet pass word. The air-conditioning etc. Neither was left. No one at my arrival spoke English. As a result I was not able to communicate. I did not cancel with Airbnb the cost of returning funds was not necessary.
I did speak to Dunanratchada via e-mail once I was settled at the hotel. She was concerned asked if she could help and apologized. That was my experience.
Thank you Duanratchada.

The house is in a lovely village-like neighborhood. It felt like countryside. Still the nearest 7-Eleven is only 15 minutes walk away. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi to Lad Prao MRT station. The room is nice and have attached shower/toilet. Nana and her family are very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful clean room and ensuite in a lovely area away from the city centre. There's plenty of delicious, cheap local food to be found in the area along Chokchi 4, and if you don't mind walking around like me then you will love the area.
The only concern was the stray dogs living in the alley on the way to the house. At night they will bark and growl loudly, which was a bit scary, however I was assured that if you simply ignore them and keep walking, they wont attack and that was certainly true!
This room would be ideal for a longer stay if you plan to work from home or just relax for a while, without planning to go too far from the local area.
Otherwise the traffic can be really bad, with what should be a 10 minute taxi to the subway station turning into 30 minutes!

The stay in Duan's house is comfortable and relaxing. Duan's daughter Nana also helped me a lot. The night before departure, I had lovely Thai dinner with Chimphalee Family. Everything feels like home here. Thanks:)

The hotel is very easy to find. There's 2 traditional Thai houses built on stilts, 4 small 'bungalow-style' rooms and then the main Thai mansion house. We stayed for one night in the mansion house and one night in the stilt-house rooms.
The hotel is positioned right on the river so it's great to see people whizzing past in long tail boats. If you stay on a Saturday night, the venue has a free boat which will take you to Amphoewah and then to see the fireflies. Every single member of staff was amazing during our stay and couldn't do enough for us.
The breakfasts were amazing, and they served food you won't find in any regular Thai hotel. At breakfast they served khaow neow sai sai - which is sticky rice wrapped in pandan leaf, with a piece of banana in the middle. On the last day we were given bah-tong-goh - think Thai-style donut with condensed milk as a dipping sauce. It's pure bliss. After that you have a choice of Khaow Dtom (rice soup) or 'American Breakfast'. It was the best Khaow Dtom we've had, after living in Thailand for 3 years. We ate dinner twice while at the hotel - both times the food was amazing.
The mansion house rooms are lovely, but very antique. The beds were comfy, the aircon worked well, the wi-fi was great. However, we had only one power socket in the room and the extension lead the staff gave us, cut out when adding more than one plug. The mansion house rooms are basically one big room with dividing doors (traditional Thai style). Be prepared to hear a pin drop in the room next door. The stilt-house rooms were more comfortable and had an en-suite which had a strong shower and a huge big comfy king size bed.
You can drive to the (in)famous 'train market' in about 15 minutes - but go early. If you try and drive within an hour of the train arriving, it'll take you over an hour to park. Driving to Damnoen market took 25 minutes, and Amphoewah by car was about 15 minutes.
Thanks to all the staff - our stay was amazing and we'll definitely be back.
